Today went off without a hitch. Marc handled the new treatment well -- no allergic reactions or horrible side effects. So far it beats the other regimens. With these drugs he doesn't have to wear a pump for three days. Infusion takes longer in the clinic (6 hours), but when it's finished he walks out unfettered for three weeks. That's a huge deal in our world!
Now we just have to wait and see if it works. The waiting is the worst. We are praying fervently that we have this thing figured out and are on the right track with this new chemo. We have lots of hope, but no guarantees.
We probably won't be seeing much of you all socially in the weeks to come. Public places are off limits. This therapy will be really hard on Marc's immune system and he can't risk too much exposure to germs. That being said...he lives with four little kids. He will be going to work, but not much else. Hopefully we can keep his exposure to the minimum. We just pray he stays strong during these treatment cycles.
Thank you all for your kind comments and words of encouragement. This has been a brutal week. We are glad it's over and we are working on the new plan. We just hope and pray it works and works mightily!
